Ouch. The auction for O-Town star Ashley Angel’s 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T Coupe ended earlier today and the car registered his girlfriend Shelli and ‘owned’ by both failed to even get a bid near the car’s private party blue book price of $10,070. The reserve bidding price was not met as the highest bid was only $9,100 in the for profit auction.

Even the promise of an autographed photo of Ashley, a personalized letter about the car written by Ashley, and an O-Town CD personally autographed by the group in the CD player was not enough for any fans to even pay what someone would pay off the street for the car. It’s unclear yet if they’ll make another attempt to sell the car.

Ed Condran of the Asbury Park Press chatted with O-Town star Ashley Angel ahead of the group’s shows in New Jersey next week. Ashley talked about the direction the band took in their latest album, ‘O2′, saying, “This time there are definitely more rock songs. I’m a rock guy at heart. I’m really into Third Eye Blind, Creed and Staind. So I’m more at that end of the spectrum musically and it’s reflected on this album. The ballads on this album are more organic than they were on the first album. Forget about the loops, we have great instrumentation this time around.”

If you are a die-hard O-Town fan and you collect everything that they have had before, you might want to consider going to eBay where Ashley Angel has his 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse up for sale - you might want to have a lot of money for this one though.
